You might also want to look into Bogofilter or SpamProbe.

However, it would be better to integrate something into SpamAssassin and
just fix the performance issues to avoid reparsing and rerendering
penalties.

The ASF disagrees:

The author of DSPAM (who I notice is on your Cc: list) seems to have
some sort of grudge against SpamAssassin, judging from the vitriol on
the DSPAM web pages, so good luck.  I'm not even sure a change is really
needed, but if there's some sort of change needed, we could perhaps
discuss it further.
